People being assaulted by fascists in Charlottesville with clubs, brass knuckles.

This on AM Joy right now. This is horrifying. The reporter says the police are not in control nor are they in riot gear or clearly prepared to protect the counter protesters.

This is unbelievable. Look on this, America. This is what the Republicans are allowing. Encouraging.

said there was no police presence for three blocks. Time to lean on congress people to denounce these criminals. These people are KKK unmasked. Call them out.
